I got bad predicted grades but i still want to apply to a russel group Uni.

So i recently got my predicted grade results and they were pretty bad. ‘ABD’, I’m still looking to study at a russel group university so i want to know if in the case i surpass my predicted should i apply through clearing. Although, i’m not exactly sure how clearing works or if it’s a good option for me. I’m looking to take an economics/finance related degree in either the university of bath or warwick.

Firstly the RG means nothing. As an example Bath one of your favoured universities is not in the RG.

Secondly leading universities like Bath and Warwick dont tend to offer Economics in clearing.

I would suggest applying to Bath or Warwick as your risk university along with a couple of universities asking ABB or BBB. They might make you a reach offer or they might reject you. The key issue with Economics/Finance is your Maths grade.

Universities asking BBB will normally end up in clearing accepting slightly lower grades but you do need to try and raise the D grade to give you better choice
